The government of Turkey has expressed willingness to support Uganda in its efforts to resettle refugees.

Turkey is currently the leading refugee host country in the world with a total of about 4 M refugees with majority coming from Syria.

Now Turkish ambassador to Uganda Sedef Yavuzalp says Turkey is ready to offer technical assistance and capacity building for Ugandan officials.

He urges government to ensure the MOU on setting up a coordination office for the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency is cleared for signing to ensure more development and humanitarian assistance to Uganda.
